The Collette Foundation is a charitable organization affiliated with Collette Vacations. This partner has been the driving force in helping Tenderfeet realize the dream of having a permanent school facility. In 2007, they donated the funds to buy a plot of land in Kibera. Sadly, the election riots caused that goal to be delayed. For the past six months, they have funded the food program in Kibera. Now, they are in the process of enabling the purchase of land in Riruta. Their patience and determination to help Tenderfeet is amazing.

Corby's Castle is a Christian youth service group in Houston, Texas. These young people are the long-term sponsors of Shadrack Otieno, the 9 year old orphan boy who had brain surgery in 2007. Following his successful, life-saving brain surgery, Shadrack has required regular doctor's appointments as well as attending a school for children with disabilities. Corby's Castle makes this possible, as well as fundraising for special projects like new school desks for Tenderfeet. The caring young people in Corby's Castle have done a remarkable job in helping other young people in need.

Cornerstone is a United Methodist Church in Houston, Texas. Cornerstone raised the bulk of the funds for Shadrack's brain surgery. The generous people of this church have also helped with child sponsorships, the Tenderfeet food program, the end-of-year school banquet for the past two years, the Tenderfeet Orphan's Fund, and Boaz's eye surgery. Everybody at Cornerstone gets involved -- for instance, recently a fifth grade Sunday School class raised funds for Tenderfeet school supplies.

The Great Canadian Foundation for Giving, founded by Tenderfeet friend Kathy Switzer and assisted by Century 21 Millenium has helped Tenderfeet in many important ways since 2007. This group first got involved by coming through in a time of great need as we tried to complete the Kibera building. During Kathy's visit, tons of school needs were met such as purchasing enough dishes for the kids food program, a school trip was sponsored, and later critical help with the effort to buy land in Kibera. Recently, funds were raised to cover the cost of Boaz's eye surgery. Countless children have benefited from the caring of this special partner.
